Each of the 8 sessions will be 2 hours in duration. The first hour and a half will be devoted to boxing fundamentals and physical fitness. There will be no sparring (at least not in this cohort). After the training is over, there will be a cooldown session for about 30 minutes led by a well-regarded yoga instructor.
